Germany: The U.S. men had Thomas Dooley, born in Germany, son of an American
serviceman. The German women's team has native Steffi Jones, daughter of an American serviceman
and a central defender with veteran Doris Fitschen. Sandra Smisek, remembered for her diving
header goal in 3-1 win against the Americans in 1997, teams with Birgit Prinz on attack. Tops
overall is midfielder Martina Voss, who is helped by Bettina Wiegmann and promising newcomer
Melanie Hoffman. Goalkeeping is strong with Silke Rottenberg. Likely U.S. opponent in either
quarterfinals or semifinals. Chances: Bound for semifinals if it wins group.
